G90-985 Discipline -- An Effective Life Guide, Herbert G. Lingren
G90-985 Discipline -- An Effective Life Guide, Herbert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
There is no doubt that discipline is needed in families. Society could not exist if people acted without concern for others. Why, then, is there so much disagreement about this subject?
Parents often misunderstand and confuse the terms discipline and punishment. They see them as being the same thing but they are not. The dictionary defines discipline as "a system of rules governing conduct." It is "training that corrects, molds, or perfects." In contrast, punishment is defined as "retributive suffering, pain, loss, or penalty." The term discipline has its origin in the word "disciple" -- a follower who learns from …
G90-962 Introducing Solid Foods To Babies, Darlene Martin
G90-962 Introducing Solid Foods To Babies, Darlene Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide explains when and how to add solid foods to your baby's diet.
Good nutrition is the cornerstone of a baby's growth and development. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends breast-feeding for most full-term infants. No formula can replace the immunological protection a baby receives from colostrum -- the breast milk produced the first few days after birth. It's important to breast-feed for at least the first few weeks, even if it can't be continued for a long time. If breast-feeding is not your choice, or if it is discontinued before the baby's first birthday, commercially prepared infant …

G90-983 Equipment Adjustments For Herbicide Incorporation, Robert Grisso, Elbert C. Dickey, Alex Martin
G90-983 Equipment Adjustments For Herbicide Incorporation, Robert Grisso, Elbert C. Dickey, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how to operate liquid herbicide application equipment on tillage implements.
Heightened concerns for energy and soil conservation have caused producers to reduce the number of secondary tillage operations while trying to maintain satisfactory incorporation of herbicides. Many herbicides are carried into the soil by rainfall or sprinkler irrigation and do not require mechanical incorporation. However, some soil-applied herbicides require mechanical incorporation to reduce volatility and photodecomposition losses. These are Eradicane, Sutan+ and Treflan.

G90-990 Explosion Venting And Suppression Of Bucket Elevator Legs, David Jones
G90-990 Explosion Venting And Suppression Of Bucket Elevator Legs, David Jones
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Explosion vents and explosion suppression devices limit the danger and damage associated with grain dust explosions. This NebGuide discusses these devices and design guidelines for application on bucket elevator legs.
The bucket elevator leg has been identified as a major source of grain dust explosions. As a bucket elevator leg conveys grain, the elements necessary for a grain dust explosion are possible. Fuel (grain dust in suspension above the minimum explosive concentration), oxygen and confinement are inherent inside a functioning bucket elevator leg. Introduction of an ignition source will initiate a grain dust explosion.
G90-1004 Growing Radishes And Table Beets, Susan D. Schoneweis
G90-1004 Growing Radishes And Table Beets, Susan D. Schoneweis
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Radishes and beets are easy to grow. Little space is required for them, and small successive plantings can yield an abundance of produce.
The radish, Raphanus sativus, is thought to have originated in East Asia, but the exact location is unknown. Radishes are one of the fastest growing vegetables, ready to harvest in 22 to 60 days. They prefer cool growing temperatures, and quickly become pungent (hot) when the weather gets too warm. Varieties (cultivars) may have round, long tapered, or oblong roots. Colors include crimson, hot pink, pink, white, bicolored and black.
Quick maturing radishes (30 days or …

Cc90-352 Team Building: Developing A Productive Team, Arnold J. Bateman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Team building is an effort in which a team studies its own process of working together and acts to create a climate that encourages and values the contributions of team members. Their energies are directed toward problem solving, task effectiveness, and maximizing the use of all members' resources to achieve the team's purpose. Sound team building recognizes that it is not possible to fully separate one's performance from those of others.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Most managers and organizational leaders recognize the interdependence of employees or other group members and the need for cooperation to accomplish the work. A team that is communicating and functioning well has synergy; that is why people working as a team can achieve better results than individuals working alone. That does not mean, however, that productivity will automatically go up by putting a group of good performers together.

G90-970 Summer Patch And Necrotic Ring Spot, John E. Watkins, Robert C. Shearman, Terrance P. Riordan
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the causes, predisposing conditions, and symptoms of summer patch and necrotic ring spot, and provides recommendations for their control.
Research since 1980 has resulted in considerable progress in identifying causes of the "patch"-type disease of turfgrass. Two of the most destructive patch diseases of turfgrasses are summer patch and necrotic ring spot.
Both summer patch and necrotic ring spot are present in Nebraska turfs. Unfortunately, necrotic ring spot and summer patch cause identical symptoms and cannot be distinguished in the field, and identification in the laboratory is time-consuming (3-6 months) and laborious.
